hi group ....


I am reading from one end of a FIFO & there are commands coming out of the FIFO which looks something like this :::

CWD /ftproots/students/tom.gary/homepage

CWD /ftproots/staff/sam.pinto/welcome

CWD /ftproots/students/dan.maclean/myfolder/webaccount

CWD /ftproots/alumini/tony.washinton/home


& i want to convert this into :

cd /homepage

cd /welcome

cd /myfolder/webaccount

cd /home

in other words i want to get rid of the 3 degree of the URL depth, ie /... / ... / ... / (i want this level only)

i have a fifo handle $read and i am trying something like this:

$path = sed 's/CWD\/.*.\//cd \//' $read;

but it doesnt work.

can any one help me in doing this ...

thanks in advance ...

Just add space after CWD
